Hotel Luna is a modern, sleek and inviting place to pop in for a meal or a catch up over a nice drink - there is a good selection of food options, the menu reflects modern tastes and the drinks list is great. Our group of 5 were well looked after, the staff here are professional and helpful. I had a beautiful Humpty Doo Barramundi resting atop an array of fresh vegetables including roasted beetroot and peppers, it was truly delicious!! I heard music coming from the Beach Bar and thought it must have been John Mayer on a screen, but when we left, to my amazement, it was a live acoustic artist named Andy, and he was fabulous. He told me he's there on Wednesday evenings and Saturday afternoons. I'm going back!!

It's the second time we have done the Drunch here. Overall its been a good experience but if you book a specific table like high tables, you won't necessarily get what you book. We had a group of 7 spending $100 each so bit of money for the venue and we were put on a low table in the sun right next to the live singer (so the table no one wanted). When I enquired why we couldnt have the high tables we had booked and which were vacant I was told I can't. Funny part about it was that the high table bookings didn't turn up for their booking and were vacant pretty much the whole time we were there. Staff here need to think about looking after the customers who actually turn up for their booking and look after them. Especially when they are spending a significant amount of money.

A birthday lunch for my twins. Very dissapointed. Chicken parma over cooked, fish no taste and Caesar salad with iceberg, no anchovies and overcooked bacon. Also warm water on the table and on an extremely warm day was not pleasant..
